I believe , as i experience on my A1, that the issue is about some GM/G lenses having linear motors and third party or G lenses without, will not
provide for the maximum rated FPS.....there is a listing on this forum() which seems to provide which sony lenses provide for max FPS.The Best Lenses for Your Sony A1 in 2024 - Alpha Shooters
A comprehensive guide to the best lenses for the Sony A1 mirrorless camera in 2024, including which lenses support 30 fps.www.alphashooters.com
I'm not sure Sony's moral vision reaches out so far as to limit third party lens functionality for purely technical difference aspects versus the more engaging sales capture benefit such a limitation provides....
Yeah, I know the obvious explanation is "Use our lenses or don't get maximum speed" (which may well be part of it), but I was trying to suggest alternative explanations.
You could think of it as Sony not wanting to be liable if their camera drove a third party lens to destruction.
Or Sony not wanting a slew of complaints when a lens produced out of focus results when asked to run at maximum speed - I'm imagining the outcry: "Sony is sabotaging third party lens makers - they deliberately make them produce out of focus images at high speed!!!" - even if Sony explained that it's the lenses not keeping up with the camera, the conspiracy theorists would be loud and vocal (especially in the USA, land of lawsuits!).
I don't think either of those scenarios require a high moral standard of Sony - more like a bunch of lawyers wanting to avoid liability and bad publicity :-D
I do think it's going to be a much bigger issue with this camera - I'm running my A1 at 20fps because I use lossless RAW - 15fps is almost as fast. 120fps vs 15fps is a much bigger difference.
